The Rawhide Kid #149

Rawhide Kid #149 delivers exactly the "Blazing Western Action as you like it" that Marvel promises on the cover — and Gene Colan's pencils with Bob McLeod's inks make good on that claim with a tense moonlit standoff. The Rawhide Kid dominates the foreground, six-gun leveled, his hat and duster catching the cold blue light of a full moon while muzzle flashes and flames erupt among shadowy figures in the background. Larry Lieber handles both writing and art duties inside, with inking by George Roussos, making this January 1979 issue a solid stop for fans of Marvel's long-running frontier series.
